12
왕이 벨드사살이라 이름한 이 다니엘의 마음이 민첩하고 지식과 총명이 있어 능히 꿈을 해석하며 은밀한 말을 밝히며 의문을 파할 수 있었음이라 이제 다니엘을 부르소서 그리하시면 그가 그 해석을 알려드리리이다
다니엘서 5:12
The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms #173
173. Internal Meaning of Daniel, Chapter 2
1-2 The future character of Babylon foretold. (2)
3-11 This was not known to those who made common cause with Babylon. (2)
14-30 but it was disclosed by revelation from the Lord to those who were of the church. (2)
31-35 The progress of the Babylonish religion follows: first the rulers would learn and teach the goods and truths of heaven and the church; and afterwards they would backslide, until nothing remained except what was adulterated, thus what was merely false and evil, and then the Lord would come. (2)
36-38 First the Word will be taught there according to truths of doctrine drawn from it. (2)
39 Afterwards the church will prevail, not from spiritual good, but from natural good. (2)
40-43 Finally all good and truth will be changed by adulterations into evil and falsity, prevailing only through civil diabolic power. (3)
44-45 Then the Lord will come, and destroy that religion, and will institute a church that will be in Divine truth from Him. (1, 3)
46-49 This was the beginning of Babylon, when it worshipped the God of heaven, and magnified doctrine from the Word. (2, 11)
